Abstract:

The study examined peace building strategies employed among the border communities of Kisumu and Nandi Counties, Kenya. The nature of peace building was analyzed through investigating the types of the peace building strategies, the types of actors, approaches used and the level of community participation. The study was supported by conflict transformation theory. Descriptive research design was employed. The target population of the study was the people living along the borders of Muhoroni and Tinderet constituencies. The study adopted simple random and purposive sampling to select the partici

The article assesses the use of indigenous methods of conflict resolution embedded in restorative practices and seeks to establish the role that Mount Elgon’s Residents Association played in peace-building in the area. The study adopts the theoretical work of Johan Galtung’s conflict analysis model and John Paul Lederach’s conflict transformation work on peace-building. The study reveals a yawning need for younger community members to be more involved in peace-building activities in the Mt Elgon area. It further reveals that community members aged between 35 and 54 years strongly believe that

Abstract:

In December 2007, violence broke out after the disputed general election in Kenya, which resulted in the death of 1100 Kenyans and left more than 660,000 displaced. Reports criticised media, especially vernacular media, for inflating the violence by using hate speech and incitement to violence, and suggested that Kenya would benefit from more community media to prevent history from repeating itself. This article focuses on how Koch FM and Pamoja FM, two community radio stations in Nairobi, Kenya, worked during the 200708 tumult and 2013 general election. The article is based on observations an

This paper describes and presents the findings of a case study research on how primary school teachers build peace in schools through African traditional values. The study was conducted between September 2005 and January 2006 in Kariobangi and Korogocho in Nairobi, Kenya and sixty primary school teachers participated in the study. The overall picture generated by this research is that peace building through African traditional values cannot be underrated and should be a crucial way forward in all levels of learning in Kenya.

Abstract:

Internationally and locally, language has played a role in fueling conflict as well as resolving it. For example in Kenya, the 2007 presidential elections were a turning point in the country’s political history. It threw the country into untold chaos and challenged the country’s national identity. In the post-election violence that erupted after the announcement of the presidential elections local languages were used as tools for propaganda spread, exclusion and at times inclusion. Through a literature review this paper explores the connections between language and conflict and how teachers ca

Scholars have recently suggested that a peaceocracy is emerging in nations experiencing intermittent conflicts. A peaceocracy is an institutionalised political strategy – rather than a political system – that aims to promote stability in states considered fragile. While scholars know how the press functions in a democracy, little is still known about how a peaceocracy shapes journalism.

Abstract:

It is dwelling that allows mortals to initiate themselves in time and space. As such, dwelling constitutes the event of being. In his essay “Building Dwelling Thinking,” Martin Heidegger stipulates that dwelling can only be achieved through harmonious relations among the constituents, earth, sky, mortals and gods (“divinities”), of the “fourfold.” Heidegger writes, “To preserve the fourfold, to save the earth, to receive the sky, to await the divinities, to initiate mortals – this fourfold preserving is the simple essence of dwelling.” Initiating themselves in time and space is the great diffi

Abstract:

In an anarchic corner of northern Kenya in the mid-1990s, a collection of local non-state actors led by a women’s market group created an umbrella movement that came to establish an impressive level of peace and security across an entire region. The Kenyan government forged a formal relationship with this group in Wajir, essentially sub-contracting out important functions of local government to local civic leaders, and using its partnership with the Wajir group as a template for similar state-sanctioned governance arrangements in other troubled border areas of the country. The Wajir story is e

Abstract:

In any electoral process, the media plays a crucial role in informing the public and acting as a watchdog in ensuring a credible and fair election. Media influences the election dynamics and perceptions, how and what the media reports, builds, or breaks the credibility of an election. Media influences people by way of reporting, offering peaceful resolution, or even ending up in conflicts. Media is therefore instrumental in conflict resolutions and peace-building. In Kenya, the media is faulted for poor reporting and amplifying hate speech that inflames tension and leads to retaliatory attacks

The media in Africa are often indicted for being partly responsible for the conflicts and tensions in the continent, and the role of the radio in escalating the 1994 genocide in Rwanda is frequently cited in support of this indictment. This article examines newspaper reports of the post 2007 presidential election violence in Kenya and finds a contrast to the Rwandan ‘model’. Although the newspapers analysed did not provide any forewarning about the impending crisis, they relentlessly published news stories and house editorials that addressed peace-building in the country.

Abstract:

The North-Western of Kenya has endured persistent, belligerent inter-ethnic conflicts. These battles are particularly between the Turkana and Pokot communities. The conflicts are rooted in historical marginalization and competition for scarce natural resources. Additionally, cultural validation of warriorhood and widespread availability of small arms have contributed enormously to the exacerbation of the skirmishes. Earlier interventions have been unsuccessful resulting from weak state presence, politicization and insufficient community ownership. This study identified and analyzed the main ch
